Description:  HF 3489 is one of the most significant school safety and child protection laws Minnesota has passed in recent years. While much of the bill creates new criminal offenses and licensing requirements, it also creates several practical obligations for school districts and significantly changes district risk management. The field trip provisions became effective July 1, 2026, while the new grooming offenses and related criminal provisions became effective August 1, 2026.

Description:  Requires every school district and charter school in Minnesota to adopt a policy by June 30, 2027, and implement an anonymous threat reporting system by July 1, 2028. Schools can either build their own local system or use the statewide system operated by the Department of Public Safety. Any local system must be available 24 hours a day by app, website, and phone, and must immediately forward tips to school staff, the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, and local law enforcement. To help schools get started, $4 million in one-time grants is available. Providing up to $10,000 per school district and $2,500 per charter school, along with $1 million for statewide threat assessment staffing. 

Description:  https://mnmsba.org/advocacy/permanent-school-fund/

School districts have an important responsibility to help their communities understand issues that affect public education. Minnesota law allows school districts and district employees acting in their official capacity to provide factual, balanced, and educational information about ballot questions that affect schools. However, public resources may not be used to advocate for or against a ballot measure. This guidance is intended to help school board members, superintendents, administrators, communications professionals, and district employees understand the difference between providing information and engaging in advocacy.
